=== Incident ===
Before the community artwork pre-show and after the intermission screen, the Mojang Studios screen remained frozen for approximately 30 seconds.

After the reveal of ''[[Minecraft:A Minecraft Movie Squared]]'', the livestream feed on YouTube unexpectedly crashed. However, the livestream feed on Twitch and the vertical version on YouTube remained operational. The livestream was later cut and re-uploaded on YouTube.

== Location ==
The live event took place in the Twitch Rivals Arena at the {{w|Rotterdam Ahoy}} convention centre in {{w|Rotterdam}}, {{w|Netherlands}}. It was rebroadcast both on the Cherry Grove Stage in the Minecraft Arena and in the NomNom Theatre on Floor 2 for attendees who were unable to secure a seat in the Twitch Rivals Arena or for those arriving late.<ref>{{citation|url=https://www.twitchcon.com/rotterdam-2026/schedule|title=Schedule|website=TwitchCon}}</ref>

== Pre-show ==

== Trivia ==

* This was the first Minecraft LIVE to mark the return of an actual live broadcast since [[Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2022]], following the switch to pre-recorded form beginning with [[Minecraft:Minecraft Live 2023]].
** Consequently this was also the first Minecraft LIVE to be an in-person live show since [[Minecraft:Minecon Live 2019|MINECON Live 2019]], being held at the Nashville Municipal Auditorium.
** Additionally this was also the first Minecraft LIVE to be broadcasted live from a convention since [[Minecraft:MINECON 2016]], that were held at the Anaheim Convention Center. This year, the event was held live at [[Minecraft:TwitchCon Rotterdam 2026]].
* Since it was an actual live event, Minecraft LIVE wasn't leaked beforehand this time.
